Hi, this is a know limitation. To "fix" this you should upgrade your xserver to a git version. Packages can be found here (WARNING: THESE PACKAGES APPEARS TO BE VERY EXPERIMENTAL AND MAY BROKE YOUR SYSTEM):https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive

I did the update... to my kubuntu hardy.
One thing i noticed is glxgears results: 365FPS.
It dropped to half what it was. Is everything as it should be or am i missing something???
I'm running on Ati 2400 w/ 256mb.

I will report for the search engines that my Thinkpad T60p with
the FireGL 5250 graphic worked by following the instructions. I used
the "ati" driver and 3D works (glxgears is about 2300FPS).
In Gutsy I was seeing about 4000FPS with the ATI fglrx driver but
could not get fglrx to install with Hardy.

Two questions about the above:

1) I see today that my update manager wants to upgrade my kernel.
What steps above do I need to re-do if my kernel is upgraded?

2) Compiz is not working. Is it possible to get compiz working with
this "ati" driver? (In Gutsy and with fglrx I had xserver-xgl installed).

Oh, BTW -- why is it important to disable the sources above after using them? Will it bring in other packages that are not desirable?

Thanks,

You should only reinstall the DRM module. (Now added in first post)

2) Compiz is not working. Is it possible to get compiz working with

See comment 13 and the following two.

Knowtiest how experimental some packages were. I left repos open...
Result: adept and system logs wouldn't open anymore. Best part was to come: mouse and keyboard stopped working. I couldn't login. After dozen reboots to xp (to search info) finally got my system fixed.
xserver-xorg was problem.
Now i'm back on mesa. Forawhile.... i'll get back to radeon. Later.
